PCB systems
Custom boards for sensing, safety, telemetry, and vehicle data.
Electrical engineering + hands-on design
Matthew McConnell
I build embedded hardware, PCB systems, and visual engineering projects that turn ideas into working machines.
Embedded tools
Interfaces, controls, firmware workflows, CAN, and ESP32 systems.
Visualization
Photorealistic renders for hardware, vehicles, and design stories.
Selected work
Projects with real hardware behind them.
Formula SAE context
Engineering work shaped by testing, iteration, and team constraints.
Many of these projects come from Sun Devil Motorsports, where clean design has to survive real packaging limits, noisy data, changing requirements, and the pressure of making the car work.
About
Electrical engineering student at Arizona State University.
I regularly work on custom hardware projects including PCB design, embedded systems, and prototyping, with a focus on clean design and practical performance. As part of ASU's Sun Devil Motorsports Formula SAE team, I collaborate on real-world engineering challenges that require rigorous testing, iteration, and teamwork.
I am driven by curiosity, attention to detail, and the satisfaction of building things that work well.
